The Twitch streamer and esports player Liam “Jukeyz” James grew up with Call of Duty: Warzone. After health complications, he had to be placed in an artificial coma; upon waking, he had a crucial question.
Who is Jukeyz? The Englishman has dedicated himself entirely to the shooter franchise Call of Duty. On Twitch, he primarily streams Warzone for his more than 200,000 followers. This year, he ranked 22nd among the most-watched Warzone streamers (via sullygnome).
Recently, he also enjoyed showcasing the beta of Modern Warfare II.
Jukeyz is a popular figure in the CoD community and is also active as an esports player. He ranks 9th among the highest-earning Warzone players worldwide (via dexerto). For the English esports team London Royal Ravens, Jukeyz works as a content creator.
Privately, he celebrated the birth of his son Elijah on August 17, 2022.
Streamer in artificial coma after asthma attack
What happened? As Jukeyz’s girlfriend Emily announced on September 27, via Twitter, the streamer had to be placed in an artificial coma after a severe asthma attack. She requested that the privacy of his friends and family be respected.
Large parts of the CoD community came together under the post, leaving well-wishes for recovery. This included the American esports team LA Thieves and former Warzone world champion Doug “Censor” Martin.
Two days later, on the evening of September 29, the all-clear followed. Jukeyz was now awake and doing well, according to a post on his Twitter account.
After waking up, Jukeyz apparently had one particular concern: he was worried he might have missed the release of Modern Warfare II and inquired whether the game had already been released.
Twitter users expressed their joy over the good news. American esports journalist Jake Lucky shared the story and celebrated Jukeyz as a “legend” (via Twitter). Even the official Twitter account of Call of Duty shared in the joy and announced a soon-to-come release.
Soon, Liam! We’re happy to hear that you’re doing better 💚

If you are also looking forward to MW2, it might be worth checking out the trailer.
Is there a game you would inquire about first in such a case? Feel free to leave us a comment with your answer.
With his anticipation, Jukeyz is apparently not alone. The open beta of CoD Modern Warfare II ran from September 24 to 26 and received much praise – but also criticism:
